Simulation Based Protocols Comparison for Vehicular Ad-hoc Network Routing

Abstract

VANETs (vehicular ad hoc networks) are a rapidly developing technology that allows communication between moving cars and roadside devices without the need for infrastructure. Although MANET has a subtype called VANET, it is distinguished by the inclusion of automobiles as nodes. ITS makes extensive use of self-organizing networks. Because of the VANET’s extremely dynamic topology and frequent disconnection, developing an efficient approach is difficult. Since no one routing protocol is suitable for all VANET applications, it is essential to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each. This research project is focused on the VANET and its protocols for routing. This paper discusses the benefits and drawbacks of the DYMO, DSR, AODV and VANET routing protocols.
